macOS Sequoia and smart cards status
The CCID version 1.5.2 was released in January 2023 but that version was not included by Apple in macOS Sonoma. That was a bit surprising when Sonoma was released in 2023. It is now worrying.
The current/latest version is 1.6.1 released in July 2024. I guess Apple provides my CCID driver as a backup only. They do not plan to invest much time and update to the latest version.
The component SmartcardCCID-55036 points to the GitHub project apple-oss-distributions/SmartcardCCID. The patch for version 55036 released on September 24th, 2024 for Sequoia compared to version 55033 released on September 22th, 2023 for Sonoma is limited to changes in the way the software is patched by Apple. You can see the difference at SmartcardCCID-55036.
One patch applied in the whitesource/configure branch to Add .whitesource configuration file. I do not know what whitesource is. It may be related to an Atlassian service called Mend for Jira Data Center (formerly WhiteSource).
